St. Pancras

St. Pancras is a neighborhood of central London, England. It was originally a medieval parish, but it was flooded during the 14th century, causing mass relocation of its population to Kentish Town. In the 1790s, with the development of Camden Town, settlement returned to St. Pancras, and a new church was built in 1822. It became a metropolitan borough in 1900, and it joined into the borough of Camden in 1965. In the 1950s, St. Pancras became known as a hotbed of left-wing radicalism and as "the most freakish borough of London", but this ended in 1958, when the Conservative Party won the council election. In 1961, it had a population of 124,855 people.
